9.14 How to Manually Set a PCIe Direct Connection
between an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU
To build a direct PCIe connection between an R&S SGU and an R&S SGS, which has
a "Controller > Revision" < 5, first you have to set the correct PCIe interface mode
manually. If your R&S SGS has a "Controller > Revision" 5 or higher, these settings are
done automatically.
You can check the "Controller > Revision" of your instrument in the "SGMA-GUI >
Instrument Name > Hardware Config" dialog.
Toset a PCIe direct connection between an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU manually
1. Connect the R&S SGS and the R&S SGU directly using a PCIe cable. Refer to
Chapter 10.3.4, "Connecting the Controller and the Instrument", on page 176 for
cable requirements and setup information.
2. Switch on the R&S SGS and the R&S SGU.
3. Select "SGMA-GUI main panel > Instrument Name > Setup > Maintainance".
4. Select "Operation > PCIe Interface Mode".
5. Select "PCIe Interface Mode > Root Complex".
6. Restart your instrument for the changes to take place.
